The legend on that chart says "U.S. electric-vehicle sales, change from a year earlier"
That's a plot of the first derivative (which is still positive [+42% at the last measure, meaning for every 100 EVs sold in Nov 2022, there were 142 sold in Nov 2023]) and the slope of that line is a derivative of the first derivative, or a second derivative.
tl;dr: EV sales are growing. That rate of growth is slower than it was before.

As I said, the rate of growth is decreasing, but sales are still growing. That article is kinda misleadingly couched, tho (I mean, Murdoch media, what can you expect?), and I can see how people could misread it as saying that sales were actually decreasing.
I’d be a little more sceptical of the media sources doing this well-reporting, if I were you.
